For info, Li has sent a patch for the bus cleanup
which is not updating the bus code:
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220606114650.209612-3-l...@nvidia.com/
It may be a temporary solution before the deprecation.
On the principle, that's probably the best, there is no question about
unclear frontier of the ABI.
(In practice though, the mentionned patch is triggering segfaults in
two CI, for pdump).
Hiding rte_bus object should be straightforward in v22.11, I had some
patches, but never finished the work.
It would be great too, to look into rte_driver and rte_device which
are exposed important types, but that's another story.
Agreed, we need to look into all this for 22.11 release, let's defer this
patch until we get proper deprecation process. Temporary patch looks fine
as a fix too.
The patch needs some rebasing for making it into 22.11.
Can you work on it, this week?
Yes, I'll have a look at it - thanks for your work on the deprecations
and cleanup!
